“Great tour guide!”
I would highly recommend Keane - he was very patient and accommodating, and very caring towards my elderly mother. He also gave a good commentary and background on the palace and history

Hiking, Shamanism & Korean lives in early 1900s
Make an experience of hiking in Seoul! The peak is 338m. You can also stop by a sort of Shaman Village on the way down. I'll tell you about Confucianism, Buddhism, and folk beliefs. Before starting the hiking the mountain, stop by a western style expatriate house, built in early 1920s. I felt moved and much sympathised by the challengeous life of the couple. After descending, we'll visit the nearby Japanese colonial prison, Independence Gate Park and a traditional market.
